Upon receipt of any cancellation, The owner will endeavour to re-let the property for the period concerned or any such part thereof as may prove possible. If such a re-letting can be arranged then we shall, at our sole discretion, refund the monies paid less any and all costs incurred in re-letting, including a £30 administration fee. If the property is not re-let for any reason then the hirer is legally liable for the whole rental.

Under no circumstances may more than the maximum number of persons stated occupy a property.

The hirer is totally responsible for the property and is expected to take all reasonable care of it. The property must be left in a clean and tidy condition, otherwise an extra cleaning charge could be made. Should the hirer or any of the hirer’s group or guests vacate the property after 10a.m on the day of departure or leave the accommodation in an unacceptable condition for occupation by the following tenants, the hirer will be liable for all costs in making good damage, breakages, missing items, loss of income and cleaning charges as incurred.
